Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Bleeding on probing in pre- and post-treatment measurements. Verified through clinical probing of the gingival sulcus with a millimeter probe in 4 sites per tooth, with the final score being the percentage of sites with bleeding. Data collected pre-treatment and 15, 30 and 45 days after the intervention. It is expected to find a difference in the percentage of sites with bleeding on probing in pre- and post-treatment measurements | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Visible biofilm in pre- and post-treatment measurements; Verified through visual assessment as absent or present in 4 sites per tooth, with the final score being the percentage of tooth surfaces with biofilm; Data collected pre-treatment and 15, 30 and 45 days after the intervention. It is expected to find a difference in the percentage of sites with visible biofilm in pre- and post-treatment measurements;Microbial levels in pre- and post-treatment measurements. Assessment of biofilm collected from 3 teeth per patient using DGGE and RT-PCR techniques, considering the type and quantity of bacteria in the sites. Data collected pre-treatment and 15, 30 and 45 days after the intervention. It is expected to find a statistically significant reduction in microbial levels in pre- and post-treatment measurements;Self-perceived quality of life in pre- and post-treatment measures. Assessment of the 7 dimensions of the OHIP-14 questionnaire, validated in Portuguese. Data collected pre-treatment and 15, 30 and 45 days after the intervention. A statistically significant improvement in self-perceived quality of life is expected in pre- and post-treatment measures | — |
